Newsflash: New McCall's Patterns Announced

Apparently spring is here. Or so I am told by McCall's. Which is really funny considering that today was the coldest day of winter so far, at least where I'm living. Spring sewing couldn't be farther from my mind. But, well, there are new patterns, so I suppose we should take a look, even if they won't be really seasonally appropriate for another few months. Although, to be completely honest, these patterns feel so generic they have a certain season-less quality to them. Take that comment as you will.

M6909 - This pattern could actually be super useful - especially for making magazine holders for all those Burdas!

So - what do you all think? I am very "meh" over the whole collection (well, aside from that costume pattern - but then my weird sewing sub-hobby is collecting costume patterns). Even the patterns I like I don't know if I really need - definitely feels like I have seen most of these styles before. Is anyone else interested in making their own magazine holders? Or does the ease of buying them at Staples and Target trump the ability to customize the design? Feel free to discuss in the comments!

6894 is interesting, but not mind blowing6897-the sleeves and the princess seams bother me, there is something that just doesn't look right there, with sleeves that short, the princess seam could have been drafted better6893-isn't that dress on the cover of the December Burda?6890-you are right, something "wrong" with the proportions

I could go on and on, but it's so blah who cares. Without the steam punk costume there would nothing worth looking at.

About Me

I love to sew, skate, and read! I am documenting my sewing adventure including pattern reviews, fabric stashing, and my obsession with Burda magazine. I am also a competitive roller skater who is working to pass her gold medal tests. I like to read, mostly fantasy though I dabble in a bit of everything, and somehow in the middle of all of this I ended up with a PhD in chemistry.
